Game's plot:
A parody of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland where Alice is smart and non-doormatlike.

In this story, Alice is not all what she seems. She is practical, strong, yet darkly cynical. Instead of the traditional story, Alice is kidnapped unwillingly by a mysterious (yet somewhat bishie-looking) man with bunny ears into a place called Heartland. Stuck in Heartland due to a trick by the mysterious bunny eared man, she meets the residents of this world. Along the way, Alice meets Blood, an owner of a hat shop who is also a handsome mafia leader; Ace, the psycho yet charming knightand... Almost all the people are dangerous. But she somehow starts to enjoy her life there. How is she going to come back?

This Im psyched about, I remember when I saw the original OVA had been put on hold I was bummed. So gad its green lit. Koyasu as Julius, Im in heaven :D

Shame it's not a TV series, though i'll take a movie instead.

There's so many better choices for Alice. :(

Actually, Kugimiya Rie can actually be pretty good when she's not playing an annoying little tsundere brat. You should hear how she voices Hotaru from Gakuen Alice.

I think she'll be able to handle it. For me as long as she doesn't sound like Louise Im good. Maybe something sweet like Liechtenstein :heh: Or even Shannon from Umineko, I like her voice in that. But Alice has my spunk so maybe Kagura :heh:

We'll see.

I have done, in fact i've heard a lot of her roles that aren't the tsundere ones everyone knows her for. I just think there's better choices for voicing Alice. Nothing to do with her tsundere roles.

alice's voice isn't what I expected but oh well.. the movie looks good

And thus I have watched it. Without subs but I think I got about 87-95% of what they were saying.

Spoiler for Movie:

They seem to have taken the Random Time Changes from the games to the extreme. Giving the entire movie an off-tilt feel. In a way, it makes the movie good because it mimics the Nonsense Phantasmagoria that the original Alice books were playing with. In another way, it makes some things hard to follow.

The animation were nothing to write home about. Sure, the designs were still detailed (but simplified from the games), but I honestly think that several episodes of Neo Angelique ~Abyss~ had smoother animation. It feels a bit like the openings of the games.

Also, this movie suffers from Giant Cast-Short Time. I was able to follow it relatively easy because I already knew all the characters from the game and manga, but it might be harder for those that don't.

The story isn't that new if you've played the games.

The voice acting was what saved the movie, though I found Rie Kugimiya as Alice a bit over-pitched. I don't know if it is that I need to get used to her, or if it means that they should have used a voice with a lower pitch.

All in all, not spectacular but fans will probably like it.

About 80% of this movie will take place in free fall.

Well it's subbed so I can finally watch it!

Wow this is really random, even having read the manga it seems they just keep skipping around. Character introductions were horribly rushed. But Ill say the seiyuu cast is perfect which is why I wanted to see this so bad in the first place.

Edit: a bit further into it, it's calmed down a bit, storyline is easier to follow still kinda random though. Gah Koyasu is just perfect for Julius, same with Ishida for Joker.
